I mean youd be able to tell how a tubed amp sounded from a solid state amp, or one that has filters applied, or have some change to the signal in the pre-amps. Theres a level of how much you can tell a difference at given different thresholds and comparisons.
That's great to know :D Didn't know you could actually control the wave form of ESL's like that. But wouldnt the rear reflected sounds also have various delays from the room causing filtering of sorts?
I'm always curious what ESL's sound like, I've never gotten the chance to hear a set, but knowing some measurements would help me get an understanding of what they should "kinda" sounds like. Would you describe ESL's as having wide or narrow directivity? Ive always wondered why Martin Logans are...
Looking back at this are any of the class D TDA chips capable of PFFB implementation like TI chips are or have there been any implementations of it? Can't seem to find many documentations of it.
As its technically an interface I would have liked to see microphone in / preamp performance as well. Their power out @32/33ohm claims don't seem to match though, allegedly it supposed to be 600mw per channel @32ohm.

Anyone able to confirm if the Air models have a high impedance auto mode? I feel like i recall the pro models having it but the air seems rather weak in the power output department, that being said it is the more "affordable" model
Looking back the Sony G9 head unit actually wasnt all too bad esp for the time it came out in and in the realm of car audio devices theres still not many other devices like it. It was just kinda pricey. Hope someone buys one of the new Pioneer SXT-C10PS for restomod projects and sends it in for...
I'd love to see more head unit testing. The issue w/ a lot of these automotive head unit smart implementations tends to be that the implementations for both the software and hardware seem to always be all over the place in regards to how they handle digital playback. The duduauto unit seems to...
